As a Data Specialist at this tech scaleup in London, you will analyse, collect, sort, and create data solutions that integrate across multiple products. You will steer decisions regarding data and build the models that power their products.


You will take client insights and requirements and make them a reality, by developing datasets and operational models to drive innovation into the product development process. You will interpret your client’s objectives, desires, and preferences to help the wider technical team understand the opportunities and apply data engineering responsibilities consistently.


You will be working on an interesting range of projects that deliver to National Security customers and as such, you will have to hold the highest level of UK Security Vetting (DV), upon application.


Key Responsibilities:


You will blend Data Engineering and Data Science, and will have experience that might cover a number of the tasks listed below:


Data Engineering tasks

  • Manage the implementation and development of integrations between the data warehouse and other systems.
  • Create deployable data pipelines that are tested and robust using a variety of technologies and techniques depending on the available technologies (Nifi, Spark)
  • Build analytics tools that utilise the data pipeline to provide actionable insights into client requirements, operational efficiency, and other key business performance metrics.
  • Complete onsite client visits and provide excellent customer support service.
  • Problem-solve in a pragmatic way, showing direction and technical support for clients whilst being agile in the approach and methodology.


Data Scientist tasks

  • Build robust, containerised data science capabilities which are scalable across projects and products (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Collaborate with technical teams to write production-ready code, ensuring ML and AI models are deployable for your clients and projects.
  • Collaborate with software engineers to design and deploy machine learning services that are accessible via APIs for use in GUIs or direct access.
  • Research, analyse and apply data sets using a variety of statistical and machine learning techniques.
  • Support the analytical needs of the technical team inclusive of cleansing, mapping, statistical inferences, feature engineering and the bespoke data visualisation methods required by each project.
  • Review the execution of software solutions and how these perform for the business and your clients, establishing key findings and commercially minded resolutions.
  • Work with the Business Development team to create proposals and bids for new work.


Benefits:

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.
